The Black Baton: Letters from a Father on Leadership is a stirring call to young Black and African leaders to rise with purpose, courage, and unity. Told through heartfelt conversations between a father and son, and concluding with personal letters, The Black Baton is rooted in the African philosophy of Ubuntu—I am because we are. This book serves as both a legacy and a guide for intergenerational leadership. Blending sports metaphors, ancestral wisdom, and bold storytelling, it draws lessons from the life of Nelson Mandela and other Black and African icons such as Kenneth Kaunda, Muhammad Ali, and Serena Williams, alongside unsung African heroes. Each chapter includes reflection prompts, inspiring a new generation to lead with character, community, and vision.
